"The test of a first-rate intelligence is the ability to hold two opposed ideas in mind at the same time and still retain the ability to function. One should, for example, be able to see that things are hopeless and yet be determined to make them otherwise."
-- F. Scott Fitzgerald

Niamh please tell me you don't mean Thomas Kinsella?
I like some of his poems. There is nothing wrong with that. He is a good poet.

You misjudged my question. I know Thomas Kinsella, and it caught me by surprise that a fan would link him with Yeats.
Well it was only a list of Irish poets i like. There are a lot more than just them. And i didnt put them into any order. Truth be told i wouldnt consider him as highly as Yeats, but he is a good Irish poet. There are some unkown poets like Caprini and Anette Kinsella that i would like maybe a little bit more.

5 is very less! Please increase at least to 10. So we have more precise list.

I think if you make a signature, you should inspire some emotion in someone else. I also think it would be pretentious for me to think I could do that.
